A 3,000-year-old gold bracelet recently stolen from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo has been melted down for its gold. Egyptian authorities announced that four individuals have been arrested in conjunction with the theft, including a restoration specialist who stole the artifact from a safe at the museum. She then sold it to a silver jeweler, who, in turn, sold it to a gold foundry worker who melted it down. The bracelet was a simple gold band adorned with a single round lapis lazuli bead and was dated to the Twenty-First Dynasty. In the Bible, King Solomon made a marriage alliance with a pharaoh from this dynasty (1 Kgs 3:1), commonly identified as Pharaoh Siamun.
